Abstract: A measurement system includes a clock recovery system and a measurement module coupled to the clock recovery system. The clock recovery system has an associated response characteristic. The clock recovery system receives an input signal and recovers a clock signal from the input signal. The measurement module is coupled to the clock recovery system and measures a phase error signal received from the clock recovery system, time-referenced to a trigger signal that is applied to the measurement module, where the phase error signal represents the phase difference between the input signal and the recovered clock signal. A processor applies the associated response characteristic to the measured phase error signal to determine the phase of the input signal.

Abstract: An optical phase standard includes a coupler dividing an applied optical signal between a measurement interferometer and a frequency reference branch. Resulting signals at the outputs of the measurement interferometer and the frequency reference branch are sampled. The samples acquired at the output of the frequency reference branch are mapped to optical frequencies that are traceable to a frequency standard provided by an absorption cell. This mapping determines the optical frequencies at which the samples acquired are at the output of the measurement interferometer. From the acquired samples at the output of the measurement interferometer, phase characteristics of a device under test (DUT) are extracted. Aspects of the optical phase standard are alternatively implemented according to an optical phase standardization method.

Abstract: An optical frequency discriminator includes an interferometer cascaded with an absorption cell that provide a composite signal. A receiver samples a composite signal and maps to the sample positions of the acquired samples, corresponding optical frequencies of an applied optical signal.
